[dear jesylee : douchebaggery. all i gotta say]

[dear jenna: let me know when that doggie contest comes, I'm sorry we didn't hang out saturday! I seriously woke up at 1:30pm and that's because my friend called me... if she didn't I would probably been asleep still by 3 or 4 =/ hahaha ]

"another day, another dollar."

I am so fucking tired. Who knew that four days of straight up partying can take a toll on you? I really really really really need to stop partying and eating out so much. Drinking, partying, going out and drinking partying and going out is really taking on toll on my wallet. Mind you, I am working full time now and the funds are coming in but it's really hard for me to save every month, when I go out with a bunch of party animals ( me being the biggest one of them all). This weekend alone i spent about $250 on partying, partying, drinking, and partying. agggggggggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!

PLUS it's really hard to say that I have to stop partying, because I have an attention span of a fucking ant ( quoting you jesylee) and i am never never never content in staying at home for a whole weekend. I have to either be doing something, or going somewhere or spending time with someone. I LOVE doing different things, trying new places,and traveling to different locations - and it is not helping AT ALL with my wallet. ridiculous.

it doesn't help either that i have a brown belt in shopaholicism (still trying to attain the black belt), and if i find something i want that looks good and in my price range - you'll see it in my closet. It is vary rare to see me in the same outfit twice in one year... ridiculous.

it's VERY FUNNY that I graduated with a finance degree - yet i'm finding it very difficult to budget my money.. GOD i need to start focusing on the topic of time value of money ( all you finance heads SHOULD KNOW what the hell that means) i think since i barely started working full time, seeing the cash flow in my account every two weeks gets me uber excited. So this an ode to myself that I WILL ( slowly but surely...)

• invest my money into a CD
• invest my money into treasury bills
• eat out less than four times a week ( that's including going out for lunch)
• save $300-$400 every two weeks
• spend less than $50 on shopping every week
• start cooking at home - or at friends house... date night ladies!
• limit myself to drinking only ONCE a week.. then slowly progress to ONCE every two weeks ( this will be my BIGGEST challenge)

any other suggestions?! please do so...

AND on TOP OF THAT I WILL...

• go to 24 hour 4-6 times a week
• walk with the aunties everyday
• limit myself on RICE and BREAD - more on meat, salad, meat, salad LOL
• eat BEFORE 6:30 PM
  
• NO SWEETS
• NO JUNK FOOD
• NO SODA
  

anything else??

AGHHHHHH!!

SIDE NOTE: I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DIVA REUNION IN SANTA MARIA 10/24 - 10/26: DEBAUCHERIES HERE WE GO!!!!

until next time...

[happy birthday love! erin & I @ DTF]
